IT'S officially Thursday and we're so close to the weekend we can taste it.
The amazing weather (although we're still complaining about the heat) has us more excited for summer than ever, and we've got plenty of treats to help see you through it in style.
Life's a beach
We're excited to finally jet away to a sun-soaked beach - but still dreading trying to ram basically everything we own into our carry-on.
That's why this Tesalate towel is our new saviour. The microfibre material means it's extra compact and - we're loving this part - sand doesn't stick to it even when it's wet.
And let's be honest, the dazzling geometric pattern is making our mood as bright as the weather.
- The Alchemist Beach Towel, £45, Tesalate –
Get your glow on
If you're anything like us - you could use a classic skin saviour to prepare for the weekend head.
This serum from Parisian skincare experts Anne Semonin contains Vitamin C, sea flowers and brown algae to correct dark spots and "visibly light up the complexion", and is also our go-to for a brightening make-up primer. We'll take two, please.

Snoozing in style
We are obsessed with this geometric bedding by design legend Jasper Conran for Debenhams.
The modern pattern and mustard hue has got us feeling summery, and it's added a much-needed pop of colour to our bedroom.
The only problem is, it's making it even harder to get out of bed in the morning...
Yellow 'London Bridge' duvet cover, £44 - £60, Debenhams –
Nude awakening
We're loving this super-chic wrap playsuit - not least because its nude hue will go perfectly with our golden tans (a girl can dream).
Team it with some dainty gold chains and block clutch to take you from cocktails on the beach to the VIP lounge - we'll be rocking it to both.
- Bobby Nude Wrap Playsuit, £22, PrettyLittleThing –
Eye, eye, beautiful
Whether you love an ultra-precise arch or a bushy natural look, you can't go wrong with these defining pencils from celeb favourite Shavata.
The brand's founder has perfected the brows of everyone from Adele to Victoria Beckham, so you know you're getting quality - and we'll be rocking the Dusk shade for a bolder look.

Sounds of summer
These raspberry Wonderboom speakers from Ultimate Ears have added a pop of colour and some seriously impressive sound to our home.
It's got 360-degree sound, it's waterproof and portable - and it's compact enough to pack in that carry-on. Holiday tunes sorted.
